如果它与 Excel 的 Office 脚本中的变量匹配，则尝试删除范围内的日期

Question

I have a column with dates stored that need to be cleared if they match a variable.

I've tried a ton of different ways, but this is my most recent attempt:

let dateRange = selectedTable
.getColumnByName("Date")
.getRangeBetweenHeaderAndTotal()
.getTexts();

let date: string = "12/2/2022"

console.log(dateRange);

dateRange.forEach(dates => {
  if (dates === date){
    ExcelScript.ClearApplyTo.contents
  }
})

This one won't work as 'dates' is an array and can't be compared to the 'date' variable as far as I can tell.

I think there are two issues you might be running into here:

First: getTexts() returns a 2D array to preserve the row/column structure of the grid. So even though dateRange is a column, it's still a 2D array - something like [['value1'], ['value2'], ...] . You can get a single cell with the expression dateRange[rowIndex][0] .

Second: ExcelScript.ClearApplyTo.contents is simply an enum member and does not do anything on its own. To clear the contents of a specific cell/range, you need to call the clear() method on the corresponding Range object.

Putting this together, you get the following script (assuming you've defined selectedTable elsewhere):

  let dateRange = selectedTable
    .getColumnByName("Date")
    .getRangeBetweenHeaderAndTotal();
  let texts = dateRange.getTexts();
  let date: string = "12/2/2022"

  texts.forEach((text, row) => {
    if (text[0] === date) {
      dateRange.getCell(row, 0).clear();
    }
  })

Additionally, as pointed out in the comments, you should be careful about date formatting. Since you're comparing strings, this script will fail to clear cells that contain 12/02/2022 , December 2, 2022 , etc. even though the underlying date is the same.

Hopefully that helps!
